| The '''2009 Odisha Legislative Assembly election''' took place in April 2009, concurrently with the [[2009 Indian general election|general election]]. The elections were held in the state in two phases. The results were declared on 16 May. Despite having recently separated from the [[Bharatiya Janata Party]] after an eleven-year partnership, the [[Biju Janata Dal]] (BJD) retained power in the Odisha State Assembly with a more convincing majority. Party chief [[Naveen Patnaik]] was formally re-elected as the BJD Legislature party leader on 19 May,<ref>{{cite news|url=http://www.hindu.com/2009/05/20/stories/2009052051870300.htm|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090606201025/http://www.hindu.com/2009/05/20/stories/2009052051870300.htm|url-status=dead|archive-date=2009-06-06|title=Naveen named Legislature Party Leader |date=2009-05-20|work=[[The Hindu]]|access-date=2009-10-27}}</ref> thus paving the way for his third consecutive term as the [[List of Chief Ministers of Odisha|Chief Minister of Odisha]].

| ==Previous Assembly==
| |
| In the [[State Assembly elections in India, 2004#Orissa|2004 Orissa Assembly election]], the [[National Democratic Alliance (India)|National Democratic Alliance (NDA)]] had swept the state with the BJD winning 61 seats and the [[Bharatiya Janata Party]] (BJP) winning 32 seats, giving the alliance comfortable majority in the 147-member house. This was the second consecutive term for the BJD-BJP combine after they first formed the government in 2000.<ref>{{cite news|url=http://www.indianexpress.com/ie/daily/20000306/ina06029.html|title=25-member Naveen ministry takes office|date=2000-03-06|publisher=[[The Indian Express]]|access-date=2009-10-27}}</ref> The Naveen Patnaik government had been sworn in at the [[Bhubaneswar]] Raj Bhavan by Odisha Governor [[M.

| ==Background==
| |
| With the tenure of the Orissa Assembly scheduled to expire on 29 June 2009, the [[Election Commission of India]] announced<ref name="ECI-2009">{{cite web|url=http://eci.nic.in/press/current/pn020309.pdf |title=General Elections to Lok Sabha and State Legislative Assemblies of Andhra Pradesh, Orissa and Sikkim |date=2 March 2009 |publisher=[[Election Commission of India]] |access-date=2009-10-07 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090619061120/http://eci.nic.in/press/current/pn020309.pdf |archive-date=June 19, 2009 }}</ref> on 2 March that year that the elections to the Assembly would be held alongside the [[2009 Indian general election|general election]]. The election in each Assembly constituency (AC) was held in the same phase as the election to the corresponding Parliamentary constituency that the AC fell under.

| Seat-sharing discussions got underway between allies, after eleven years of partnership and nearly two full terms as the Orissa state government, the BJD snapped ties with the BJP in March 2009, blaming the latter for the [[Religious violence in Orissa#August 2008 violence|2008 violence against Christians]].<ref>{{cite news|url=http://ibnlive.in.com/news/kandhamal-riots-forced-bjd-to-snap-ties-with-bjp/88069-37.html|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090322075703/http://ibnlive.in.com/news/kandhamal-riots-forced-bjd-to-snap-ties-with-bjp/88069-37.html|url-status=dead|archive-date=2009-03-22|title=Kandhamal riots forced BJD to snap ties with BJP|last=Karan|first=Jajati|date=2009-03-19|publisher=[[CNN-IBN]]|access-date=2009-10-27}}</ref> Thereafter, the BJP withdrew support to Government and Governor [[Murlidhar Chandrakant Bhandare]] asked Chief Minister Naveen Patnaik to prove his majority in the Orissa Assembly.<ref>{{cite news|url=http://www.hindu.com/2009/03/09/stories/2009030957180100.htm|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090310121021/http://www.hindu.com/2009/03/09/stories/2009030957180100.htm|url-status=dead|archive-date=2009-03-10|title=Naveen Patnaik asked to seek confidence vote on March 11 |last=Das|first=Prafulla|date=2009-03-09|work=[[The Hindu]]|access-date=2009-10-27}}</ref> Naveen Patnaik then won a controversial trust vote on 11 May 2009, after the opposition Congress and BJP legislators walked out of the Assembly in protest in the manner the vote was being conducted.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.hindu.com/2009/03/12/stories/2009031258220100.htm|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090316194602/http://www.hindu.com/2009/03/12/stories/2009031258220100.htm|url-status=dead|archive-date=2009-03-16|title=Naveen wins trust vote |last=Das|first=Prafulla|date=2009-03-12|work=[[The Hindu]]|access-date=2009-10-27}}</ref>
